| dc.description.abstract | An assessment was made mainly to describe the knowledge about and altitude towards HIVIVCT of cadets at the Major General Haylom Araya Military Academy. Subsequently, an altempt was made to see the effects of cadets' residence, marital status and education level on cadets' knowledge and at/itudes towards HIVIVCT. To at/ain this objective a sample of 193 male cadets was randomly selected from a population of 595 cadets and all the available female cadets' (16) were included. In addition, (18) cadets were purposefully selected for the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS soft ware. Analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data indicated that the majority of the cadets have got good knowledge of HIVIVCT and showed afavorable altitude towards HIVIVCT, but with some reluctance to get the service. Moreover, cadets didn't show significant knowledge differences on HIVIVCT across residence and education levels but marital status. No significant at/itude differences was observed towards HIVIVCT across marital status and education levels except residence where urban raised cadets were seen with more favorable attitudes than rural raised cadets. Moreover, knowledge about HIVIVCT was not seen significantly correlated with altitude towards HIVIVCT. It was concluded that cadets had good knowledge and altitude towards HIVIVCT despite some reluctance to test their anti bodies against HIV | en_US |
